Represent the left? Are you nuts? Akin has a 97.24% ACU rating. He is among the most conservative members of Congress. He voted against the Prescription Drug program, TARP, no-child left behind, and lots of other left and moderate Rep supported legislation.

If elected, Akin will join Demiont, Cruz, Lee, Vitter, Sessions, and the rest of the conservatives in the Senate. The GOP Establishment don't like Akin because he is too conservative.
